Control Services Australia are suppliers of the Yamamoto Rock Splitter.

Control Services Australia (CSA) are suppliers of the world's largest rock splitter for excavation of hard rock.

No noise. No vibration.

Rock splitting and excavation around critical infrastructure for roading and parking

CSA are exclusive distributors of Yamamoto Rock Splitter products in Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Region. Yamamoto Ultra Large Rock Splitter is specifically designed for excavation of large volumes of hard rock. The splitters are designed based on the wedge principle and are the largest of its kind in the world.

Using explosives or large rock breakers are the normal methods for the excavation of hard rock. Increased regulatory controls and restrictions on blasting are getting harder to comply with and the use of rock breakers is not always feasible due to vibration, noise restrictions or simply the rock being too hard to break. Yamamoto ultra-large rock splitters offer an alternative method for efficient excavation of large volumes of hard rock without the need for explosives, vibration or fly rock.

The rock splitters are used for a wide range of rock excavation applications including open pit excavation, trenches, highway widening, building foundations, shaft-sinking and tunnelling.

The splitter can be mounted from a normal excavator or a crane for open pits or shafts, and mounted on a specialised carrier for horizontal tunnelling. For large volumes of rock, there is simply no mechanical method more efficient, safe and silent than the Yamamoto rock splitter.

The working principle is based on two counter wedges being inserted into a pre-drilled hole. A hydraulic cylinder pushes out the center wedge between the counter wedges to spread them apart and the rock splits.
